Agatha Christie by Any Other Name
I just received my copy of The Burden written by Mary Westmacott - - Agatha Christie's nom de plume for her 'meatier mysteries.' The cover of this book reminds me of the Nancy Drew mysteries I read as a child. First published in 1956, this edition was published in 1963. I can't believe books used to cost 45 cents! How times have changed. I wonder what wages were back then. . .
I'll definitely have to break out the reading glasses and the reading lamp for the tiny print in this book.
This book was recommended by Broken Tunes, and I'm excited to read it. The other title on my list by Westmacott is Absent in the Spring.
